For people that did not know about it:
<http://www.handhelds.org/>
Provides a lot of information about handhelds. Particularly, the
Compaq ipaq's are well documented on the site. There used to be a
person called Edwin Foo in Compaq that was very helpful but apparently
he has moved on. I did contact one of the other Compaq guys that was
active on the handhelds site (Jamie I think it was) who nicely pointed
me at the documentation on handhelds.

I think that someone was working on a bootloader for the ipaq based on
the Linux ipaq bootloader. There are some dangers in rewriting the
bootloader on the ipaq though. I believe that other hpc's are a bit
more awkward because they have the bootloader in ROM.
